Do you know all that stuff for fact or is it a characterisation?

As a characterisation, it may be a little over the top! ...but don't let me 
stop you.

The only thing I object to is any derogatory allusion to his source of 
income. If Phil is suffering from chronic clinical depression, as I suspect 
he is, he deserves financial support. The alternatives are worse!

As a pensioned disabled carer, the only source of income I have is from that 
pension and the only thing that keeps me happy and is music, glorious music.

The same goes for my dependant, who is bed ridden. I've built him his own 
remote controlled Hi-Fi and entertainment system sitting at the end of his 
bed. The necessity to do so on a small income is what compels me towards 
DIY.
